How can you prepare the strawberry biscuit roll?

If you are about to make a strawberry Swiss roll, the first thing you should do is bake the moist and fragrant base. For this purpose you need a square tray, 1 sheet of baking paper, 4 egg yolks, 120g sugar, 80g flour, 4 egg whites (beaten until stiff), 2 tablespoons lukewarm water, some oil. Everything is stirred vigorously and spread out about 1 cm thick on the baking tray lined with baking paper. Put the tray in the middle of a preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes at 200 degrees circulating air or at 220 top and bottom heat. Support the biscuit base on a cloth, peel off the parchment paper and immediately cover it with the hot tray. This allows the finished baked base to cool completely. In the meantime you can prepare the creamy cream and think about the design of the Swiss roll. This is a basic recipe that can always be supplemented.

Of course, the strawberry sponge roll should not be left out and can be coated with the remaining cream, for example, as you wish

Summer should always be celebrated on occasion and yet remain reasonable

Can you also prepare a strawberry Swiss roll without cream?

All kids used to like cream. Today, people not only pay strict attention to their figure, but unfortunately there are more and more people who have difficulty tolerating lactose. Which tasty and healthy alternatives can be considered? We immediately think of a ripe avocado whipped creamy with low-fat quark. Stiffly beaten egg whites are also an airy and delicious idea. Of course you can also use vanilla pudding. It’s also great if you cover the cooled cake base with ice cream to match the summer.

A freshly baked cake with fresh strawberries and creamy stirred yoghurt can taste like heavenly summer

When the biscuit base has cooled down, you can carefully roll it back and forth a few times with the help of a kitchen towel and then top with sliced ​​strawberries. Optionally, you can first spread the base with strawberry jam. Spread a generous layer of cream over the strawberries and roll up. It’s always nice when the outside of the cake is covered with cream as well. Decorate the homemade strawberry Swiss roll with a piping bag and finish the creative work with lots of fresh and fragrant strawberries.

The most important thing about the strawberry biscuit roll is the base, which should be baked properlyl

The finished baked base should be supported immediately on a cloth and, after peeling off the baking paper, left covered with the baking sheet until it has completely cooled

Rolling up the bottom can be easier if you use a tea towel

You can vary the taste as you like and thus make it colorful

It is up to you to decide which design technique you choose

If you want to use ice for your cake, you should store the Swiss roll in a cool place.

This recipe can be made at any time of the year and tastes good with all local fruits. Try the roll with wild berries in midsummer or with apple sauce and cinnamon in autumn. Don’t be surprised if this becomes one of your favorite recipes. You don’t need more than an hour to make the delicious dessert, and spontaneous visitors will also be delighted. The only thing to watch out for is the number of calories, but we warned you about that.

We wish you the best of luck and see you next time!
